Chapter 300 Self-expansion

Zhu Cilang felt something was going to go wrong, domestic bandits ran around, Li from Chengdu approached Kaifeng Prefecture, and Zhang Xianzhong was even more eyeing Sichuan. But Liaodong was surprisingly quiet.

This is extremely unusual, and it doesn't look like Huang Taiji's style. The reason why Zhu Cilang was able to beat Huang Taiji was caught off guard was because he seized the initiative according to historical records. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would be an extremely difficult character to deal with.

One thing that has to be admitted is that Huang Taiji is a genius who is close to each other. His cavalry battlefield command ability is impeccable. Once such a talent becomes an enemy, it will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

If Chongzhen knew that there was such a danger, he would never have agreed to Zhu Cilang to go to Liaodong. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen at this moment, the border between Liaodong was stable and Huang Taiji had no intention of going south, and it seemed very safe.

"Okay, the emperor is very respected in the eyes of the Liaodong soldiers. You have solved their urgent need for military pay. This time, you will go to Liaodong again and give them some condolences." Chongzhen agreed very happily.

This surprised Zhu Cilang. He thought his father would stop him. He said in surprise: "Father, my son-in-law wants to take the Hu Ben Army north."

Chongzhen was even more at ease with the Tiger Ben Army following him. Although the elite troops selected from the three major camps were not large in number, they were a group of tiger and wolf troops. Besides, the military expenditure of the Tiger Ben Army had nothing to do with the court, and it was originally a private army affiliated to you, Zhu Cixuan.

"Well, you bring all the Hu Ben Army and your Eastern Palace Guards together. If you encounter any danger, they can also help. But one thing is that I won't help you with military pay, food and grass."

This does not require Chongzhen's help, and the profits of Xishan's glass factory doubled. In addition, Zhu Cixuan made some troubles in the glass factory's accounts, so it would be no problem to support a Hu Ben Army.

After all, it was the Crown Prince's private armed forces. The Hu Ben Army and the Eastern Palace Guard's military camps were all outside the city of Beijing. This had to involve the issue of imperial power. If Zhu Cilang was the emperor, the Hu Ben Camp and the Eastern Palace Guard would naturally defend themselves in the capital. But he was the crown prince, and the crown prince was different from the emperor after all. The crown prince's guards could not stay in the capital.

This is okay. Huben Camp and the Eastern Palace Guard stationed outside the Xicheng Gate. Take them to Liaodong, maybe they can show their skills. The main thing that made Zhu Cilang feel itchy was the five hundred flintlock rifles brought by Tang Ruowang and his military battle. Before, Tang Ruowang sent hundreds of military battles, but this time, some military battles were made.

Five hundred flintlock rifles, three hundred were used to equip the Huben Camp, and two hundred were used to equip the Eastern Palace Guards. The Qing Dynasty in Liaodong was ultimately a confidant of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they could not be completely eliminated, they had to be destroyed in case they took the opportunity to arise.

"Prince, when will you set off?" Chongzhen asked.

Zhu Cilang thought for a while: "Three days, three days later, I still have some things to do."

Some of the things Zhu Cixuan said were Li Yan and Song Xiance sent by Zhan Yunpeng and others. The two of them had arrived in the capital, and Zhu Cixuan had never taken time to see them.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cilang went to Kunning Palace again to see his mother, Empress Zhou and his sister, Princess Kunxing. Zhu Cilang did not dare to say that he was going to Liaodong, otherwise Empress Zhou would definitely object if she knew about it.

"Brother, I want to eat candied haws." As soon as we met, Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai pulled Zhu Cilang's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

Candied haws, like the imperial chef in the Forbidden City, they can’t make such folk snacks. The emperor has different identities, so how can he eat these snacks? Even if there are ingredients, it is not easy to make the imperial chef.

Last time, when Zhu Cixuan left the palace, he brought back one for his sister. Obviously, Zhu Mai liked it very much.

"Okay, when I come back, I will bring you a few. Mother, my son will go to the Beizhen Fushi."

Queen Zhou was very surprised that his son was still young and should have been at the age of studying. Why did he seem to be busier than Emperor Chongzhen? He was not in the palace every day, and he often watched him go on a hurry.

"Young son, how long has it been since you started classes? If you continue like this, you will be abandoning your studies. I think you will talk to your father and let you study hard in Zhongcui Palace tomorrow."

Zhu Cilang is indeed a little arrogant. With the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince was not easy. In addition to the "Six Tributes of the East Palace", there are four teaching and aid institutions in the East Palace, namely Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang, You Chunfang, Shijing Bureau, and each yamen has seals and letters, all of which are official positions in the East Palace.

The so-called "Six Tutors of the East Palace" refer to the main official position of tutoring the prince, which is composed of the "Three Divisions" crown prince, the crown prince's tutor, the crown prince's tutor, the "Three Young Master" crown prince's tutor, the crown prince's tutor, and the crown prince's tutor.

Among them, the third division has the first rank, and the third young official rank is the second rank. The former's duty is to "teach the prince with morality and protect him carefully." The latter's duty is to "teach the prince to praise the etiquette and conduct the wrongs." Of course, although these are all ministers of the Eastern Palace, their number is not fixed and they are not specially granted to someone.

In addition, since the six masters of the East Palace are basically not involved in the East Palace teaching aids, the "Jianshi Mansion" assumed the actual responsibility of tutoring the East Palace.

As for the left and right Chunfang, the east and west wings of the Cultural Hall were originally used as the yamen, and the position of the Jingju Bureau was on the left side of the East Palace. Later, because it was located in the important place of the palace, it was jointly established in the Xianzong Dynasty and the Zhanshi Mansion. It was mainly assisting the prince!

In the face of national crisis, Zhu Cilang has been busy with government affairs recently. He either reforms commercial taxation or rectifies the three major camps, trains soldiers or selects soldiers. In addition, there are many things in the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi. As for Zhu Cilang's many studies on weekdays, he has long been left behind.

But in the eyes of Queen Zhou, this is not possible. All mothers in the world are the same. The son is too young, even if he is very capable, he will suffer a great loss in the future without knowledge.

Zhu Cixuan scoffed at this: "Mother, the gentlemen who teach the Er'er's heads are all old scholars with elm-headed talents. They are ignorant and unworthy of teaching the Er'er's ministers."

Empress Zhou was furious when she heard this: "Rareless! You talk nonsense, you have a good attitude before it was unearthed, and you are still humble. Prince, you are young, how can you be arrogant and arrogant? The gentlemen your father selected for you are all great scholars of the world, so how dare you be negligent?"

Those who can enter the Eastern Palace and teach the prince's studies, as Empress Zhou said, are all scholars from the scholarly family. However, Zhu Cilang was arrogant and did not take them seriously, although he made some minor achievements. But after all, he was young and had a profound knowledge of knowledge.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang still looked contemptuous: "Don't you believe it? Another day, Erchen calls them here and let's compare our knowledge. Are these great scholars who deceive the world and steal fame? Or is they a very knowledgeable scholar? Well, Erchen has something to do, so let's go first."
